As many of you know, Hannah is hoping to go to school this coming fall in Canada. But how does that work, when you’ve lived two thirds of your life in another country<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

After all, you don’t have the many shared experiences of your peers, or their vocabulary, and you don’t know what they know and they don’t know what you know.<\/p>\n

Well, that’s where ReBoot<\/strong> fits in, of course!<\/p>\n

Reboot is a retreat put on by the Canadian MK Network<\/strong> (under the MORE Network<\/a>), whose vision is: To provide a safe place for Canadian MKs to review their life stories, be refreshed through worship and peer relationships in order to re-enter and navigate the transition to Canadian life and culture with God’s grace.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"ReBoot<\/a>There are retreats in Alberta and Ontario. The retreat that Hannah hopes to go to is in Calgary this August, hosted by Ambrose University<\/a>. It’s for MKs age 17-20.<\/p>\n

However, there’s a catch<\/strong> – the organizers want to see if there are enough students before they commit to running the program. By March 31st they want to have around 15 students registered, or they might *gasp* cancel!<\/p>\n

So would you help us spread the word?<\/em> If you know any MKs who may be transitioning to life in Canada, or even who have returned to Canada over the past year or two, tell them to consider ReBoot<\/a><\/strong>. There’s lots of information in that link, including videos and testimonials.<\/p>\n

If you would like to help Hannah attend ReBoot, you can give to her school fund here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
